Very disappointed in this storm so far (West Kent). Its a bit windy, but the bloody sun has the temerity to be shining, and everything in general seems fine.

I'm watching it on FR24, 90kt headwinds on final approach right now and planes are taking 2 or 3 goes at getting on the ground:

I hope you stay safe. When storm Arwen hit Scotland last winter we were without power for four days. Then a couple of weekend ago we had back-to-back storms (Malik then Corrie) and lost power for several days again. We also coincidentally had a burst water main. The worst thing was the cold.

I don't know if anyone else has noted the same thing but it does feel like the reporting on storm Eunice is far more prevalent than the other major storms we've had and I can't help but wonder if that's because it's the south of England getting battered instead of further north.

STORM WATCH: it ain't poo poo in Exeter. Just walked to therapy and back and while there was the occasional strong gust that's about it. Saw a couple signs flying about. Low energy, sad!!

I've noticed a lot more "It's not happening in London so it's not happening, why are you all panicking" posting going on. At least when twisto does londoncentric posts they're about interesting quirks and oddities as opposed to pretending England only exists within a few miles of the thames.

Had a five second power cut earlier but now is meant to be peak wind time and it's underwhelming in my corner of the south.

Those pilots have got balls of steel, just watched a big Airbus land and it was basically static a few feet above the ground for 30seconds. Also, Rob Swire seems to be watching the channel

Just drove from the Wye Valley (the heart of the red zone) to Peterborough - left at 0830, got home at 1215. Very windy on the north bank of the Severn but nothing more than standard strong winds and no destruction, toppled trees, tipped lorries, flying bins or travelling trampolines. Some savage crosswinds on the exposed bits of motorway but we generally seemed to be running ahead of the weather and Peterborough is, as usual, not so much experiencing weather as just 'climate' at the moment. But the first things I did when I got in were to put the garden umbrella in the shed and move the food waste bin into the shelter of the front garden wall so I Am Prepared.

In the old days it could take a while to find out someone you've never heard of was an insufferable oval office, but thanks to modern technology they can indicate it very efficiently with under 100 characters.

Each subsequent plane filmed by the stream seems to be angled slightly more away from the camera than the previous one

In a couple of hours they'll be landing 90 degrees sideways at this rate

Eunice is certainly getting a lot more air time (so to speak) than Dudley. Guess which one is hitting Scotland.
